Going to Kansas City, Kansas City here we come!

Opening Day is on April 5, one week from today! The first of two equipment trucks departs this afternoon for the trip back to Kansas City. Players, coaches and staff members sent equipment and supplies on the truck. ATH can confirm that Denny Matthews’ apple box made it through another Spring Training. The apple box has made over 20 roundtrips, both to Florida and now Arizona. It’s just like a tree, only you count the rings of tape to determine the number of years!
